Popular Colour Dash returns to Ely

Popular Colour Dash returns to Ely

East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) will be bringing a splash of colour to Cambridgeshire again this year, with tickets for one of the charity’s most popular fundraisers on sale now!

EACH’s Ely Colour Dash will be held on Saturday, 12 August at King’s Ely.

Colour dashes are five-kilometre (3.1-mile) fun runs – the ‘fun’ aspect being that participants are showered with clouds of coloured powder paint as they run!

Polly West, EACH Cambridgeshire Community Fundraiser, said: “We’re very excited to be launching tickets for this event. As anyone who’s taken part before knows, it’s an impressive sight and great fun for all the family.

“There’s no competitive aspect, so you can run, jog or walk the five kilometres – just be prepared to get covered in coloured powder paint. It creates truly impressive multi-coloured results!

“Tickets are expected to sell quickly so please secure yours as soon as possible to avoid disappointment and take advantage of our special early bird offer.”

Ely is one of nine places in the region that EACH is holding Colour Dashes this year. Last summer more than 5,300 runners took part across seven locations, raising £150,000.

EACH cares for children and young people with life-threatening conditions across East Anglia and supports their families. For both families accessing care and those who have been bereaved, EACH is a lifeline at an unimaginably difficult time. It costs the charity almost £6 million a year to deliver its services and all funds raised at this event, to begin at 11am, will help.
